Description

Axe Edge is the larger rock behind picture window. Many good thin routes are on its south and east sides. Breast Stroke is probably the best route on the rock, and it goes at 5.11b.

Getting There

From the trailhead for Marker/Monster, walk left towards the Monster area. Walk past the high formations and up the hill. Near the end is the very distinctive Picture Window (large hole in the face). Axe Edge is the larger formation just behind it to the south.
